The other night I stopped by Outrun The Fall band practice to catch up with Brandon, Ryan & Josh of the group.

We talked about recording with Jack Daniels at Sicktones, lyric video, possibly more new music and their big ol BBQ Bash Party! We also tackle some of the tough topics like favorite chicken strips place, crispy bacon vs chewy bacon and much more.
